An extraordinarily bombastic performance from the prime minister. It does occur to me that if he doesn’t show some humility after the laceration the Supreme Court gave him yesterday it’s difficult to imagine any circumstances in which he would.
Jo Swinson asks the PM why he can't apologise for the prorogation.
He refuses.
It is extraordinary that- even if he believes right was on his side-he hasn't apologised for the rigmarole (to coin a phrase) of all this.

Early warning signal for PM. Richard Drax asks Johnson to assure him that the deal he brings back "bears no resemblance" to Theresa May's deal.
Whatever deal Johnson brings back it will be virtually identical save for the backstop which will just be called something else.

Drax voted for May's deal (just) in the end and came to regret it. Expectations on his own side still far too high.
PM being criticised by MPs on every side for using the term "surrender act" for Benn Act. He continues to use it regardless.
Johnson says such criticism is "humbug."
Bercow implicitly criticising PM as he talks of how many MPs and their families have been threatened.
.@AnnaMcMorrin: "I've never been more embarrassed to be an MP." She becomes the umpteenth person to ask the PM to apologise for the unlawful prorogation. He refuses for the umpteenth time.
@AnnaMcMorrin Sylvia Hermon asks about a second prorogation. PM essentially confirms it's coming.
